This organic farming estate is close to the walled village of Paciano, a perfectly restored 13th century medieval village located in a peaceful, unpolluted and scenic location. Paciano is sister city with Fontain in Burgundy and with Mosman in Australia. There is a view of Lake Trasimeno and the lights of Chiusi and Cortona in the distance. Located in Umbria, "the green heart of Italy" on the border of Tuscany, the property is set on 40 acres with 2,000 olive trees and a small vineyard of Sangiovese grapes, 60 years old. The view to rolling green hills faces breathtaking sunsets and sunrises.

There are few places where you can find serenity, explore medieval hill towns, Etruscan art, artefacts and historic cities, and enjoy great food and the most welcoming hosts. Montanaro Estate offers all that and much more. The property is surrounded by one hectare of olive groves with a position overlooking the Tuscan and Umbrian countryside, located near the historic hill town of Paciano.

FRANTOIO & LECCINO

The estate contains a beautifully restored two story stone farmhouse with two separate luxury 1-bedroom apartments. The farm house, built in 1893, has been restored and now offers all modern comforts. It is surrounded by a spacious lawn planted with lemon trees, an extensive collection of old English roses, a great variety of many flowers and a vegetable garden. There is a bread oven, Weber barbecue and a large private Infinity swimming pool with high-performance salt chlorinator (14 x 6m- 46 x 19.6ft ) with a maxi Jacuzzi.

The two cozy one bedroom apartments, named Frantoio and Leccino, are adjacent to the main house where the owners live. Both have their own private patio and garden. Each villa is fully furnished and decorated with tasteful Umbrian touches, is approximately 60 sq mt, and has a large living room with SKY satellite TV and WI-FI access, a well equipped kitchen corner and fireplace, plus a large bedroom with king-size bed and a comfortable, modern bathroom with shower. Linens, pool towels, hair dryer, kettle, cooking pots and pans, dish washer, microwave oven, CD player, washing machine, cellular phone, and final cleaning are all furnished to render your vacation complete. Pets are permitted on request.

When in season, guests may take advantage of free produce (fruit, tomatoes, greens) from the vegetable garden. A library of English language books is provided in each villa. You can browse the selection of art books, guides, maps, brochures and tourist information about the wonderful places to visit in the area.
